Thank you for loving me.
Thank you for caring about me.
Thank you for listening to my rants.
Thank you for supporting me.
Thank you for encouraging me.
My life would not be complete without you.
Rest assured that you are loved by me. Deeply and truly.
May this day and all your days be forever blessed.

For all the women who read this blog, my friends, all you mothers, though we've only met virtually, it seems in many ways as if we've known each other for a long, long, long time. And that is such a good thing. I know that many of you became mothers within the last year and I can just imagine how special this, your first mother's day is.

Parenting is such a huge responsibility and I admire the grace with which you balance your life, work and everything else in-between. I join in the chorus of applause and salute you on this your very special day.
